ABSTRACT

The gospel of Freethought is the daughter of Science, the good news she brings is based upon scientific facts, along the path in which she guides the feet of men she holds up the lamp of Science to show the way. It is the gospel of Freethought, the banner of Secularism. It studies history, and therefore it knows, what most Christians do not know, where this notion of a Devil comes from. But to the world the gospel of Freethought does really bring good news, glad tidings of great joy, which shall be to all nations. The gospel of Christianity is good news because it speaks of a Father in Heaven, and, in painting his fair picture, it forgets the terrible blots with which this same God is disfigured and it reveals to us the existence of the Devil. The gospel of Christianity asserts the existence of both, the gospel of Freethought denies the existence of both.
